At the end of the day, guests came to drink one after another.

"This room is magnificent!"

"Yes! Spacious and bright! I think when the Xiao family came, they were wearing worse clothes than me! ”

"But people have a capable grandson and a generous granddaughter-in-law!"

"This is true, hey, I can't live in this house in my life, I think about saving some money for our family this year and building two more earthen houses next year."

"Aunt Hua, who doesn't know that your daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law are all helping to chop chili peppers in the Yingzi factory, and your man, your son and grandson are all diligent, and they keep chopping firewood every day to send it to Yingzi, this counts down...... Yo! More than 100 a day! Kim said.

More than 100 wen a day, more than three taels of silver a month, is the income of the previous year.

"How can there be so many?" Hua said modestly, "But with Yingzi's light, now I can eat a full meal, no matter how diligent the family used to be, they could only live on one acre and three points of land, and they were all hungry and afraid, so the child's father and the children worked hard!" ”

Listening to Hua's words, Jin's face is a little not good-looking, his man is notoriously lazy, although no one in their family works in Yingzi's factory, but Yingzi buys a large number of firewood every day, be diligent, and earn more than ten yuan a day is not a problem at all, but her man is too tired, and he only goes to cut Dachai once in three or five days.

At this time, the village chief of Lijia Village and the village chief of Zhoujia Village all came with gifts, and the family of three of the village chief Ma also came.

Village Chief Ma wanted to talk to Liu Yifan and explain and explain, but Liu Yifan kept talking and laughing with others, and finally he couldn't sit still.

"Lord Liu, can you take a step to speak?" Village Chief Ma stepped forward and said respectfully.

Liu Yifan could guess what Village Chief Ma was going to say.

He said: "Village Chief Ma, I know what you have to say, don't worry, I have always been one and two two. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Village Chief Ma nodded repeatedly.

"Since you Ma Guangyao have no intention of my sister and care about Liu Mei, don't harass my sister in the future, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that I will not show favoritism."

"Yes, yes, we change, we change."

With Liu Yifan's words, the big stone in Village Chief Ma's heart finally fell, and he nodded again and again to reassure.

"Lord Liu, when will I start making clothes?" Zhang Shouxin asked with a bitter face.

Niu Cheng said: "Yes, it is almost April, and half a year will pass quickly." ”

Liu Yifan smiled and said, "Wait for next month!" I'll talk about it when I get back from Fucheng. ”

Zhang Shouxin said: "If you don't give me the drawings first, I'll do it first, and I'll talk about selling it when you come back." ”

Liu Yifan said: "Uncle Zhang, don't worry! This time I went to Fucheng, my wife and I went, in addition to taking the scientific exam, I also had to see the consumption power of Fucheng, and when the time came...... Anyway, we'll talk about it when we get back. ”

"Listen to what you mean, you want to do business in Fucheng!" Niu Cheng said.

"A Xinglong county is too small, and the market demand is limited."

"Can I succeed in individual stocks?" I wish the shopkeeper a good luck.

Not to be outdone, the king's shopkeeper said, "And me! Even if it's 10%. ”

Anyway, now they all know Liu Yifan and Luo Ying's ability to make money, and they will try their best to get on their boat.

Liu Yifan smiled and said, "Let's wait for us to come back from Fucheng!" ”

At this moment, the sound of horses neighing came from outside the door.

"Master Xiao, congratulations, I am the housekeeper of Lord Chen's house, Lord Chen is busy with official business, and I can't take a break, so I specially asked me to say congratulations." After Steward Chen finished speaking, he asked people to take the gifts down from the carriage.

"Master Xiao, I am the housekeeper of Jiang's Mansion, and Master Jiang asked the little one to come and say hello to you!"

"Master Xiao, I am the housekeeper of the Wu Mansion......"

"Master Xiao, I am the housekeeper of the Martial Mansion......"

The bigwigs of various institutions in the county have sent housekeepers to give gifts, and the gifts are not cheap, such as bedding, wood carving ornaments, high-quality porcelain and so on.

"Extremely, quickly...... Sit in the house, sit in the house! Old man Xiao beckoned them into the house.

"No, no, there's something going on in our house."

"What's the matter?" Xiao Dashu said, "How can there be a reason to skip meals when you come?" ”

"Thank you Uncle Xiao for your kindness, we won't bother, and we have to go back to restore our lives!"

The Xiao family father and son were stunned.

At this time, Liu Yifan came out and said: "Since a few people are leaving, we won't force us to stay, we have this homemade thing at home, if you don't dislike it, take it back and try it." ”

After a while, Yan Qing brought salted duck eggs and preserved eggs over and gave each of them a basket.

The housekeepers thanked them again and again.

"Who are these people?" Liao Shi looked at those gifts, his eyes were dazzled, "These things are really beautiful, aren't they cheap!" ”

Mrs. Xiao smiled and said, "They are all county officials' families." ”

Mo flattered: "Second aunt, your family still has face!" ”

"What kind of face do we have! It all came up on the face of my grandson. Mrs. Xiao had a proud expression and said, "They all want to do business with my grandson and daughter-in-law!" Don't you know, when the restaurant opened that day, those shopkeepers pestered my grandson to partner with him! ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, my granddaughter-in-law's craftsmanship, the noble man said last time, is comparable to the imperial kitchen!" After Mrs. Xiao finished speaking, she pointed to the side and said, "It's the ones who are drinking tea at the same table with my grandson now, the two over there are restaurant owners, the one over there is the one who sold clothes in partnership with my grandson last year, and the one is the uncle of the big family Niu Mansion in the county, I heard that their family business is the boss, and the lady who talked to my granddaughter-in-law is the eldest daughter of the county Cheng." ”

These Liao's Mo Xiao Xiaocao were very impressed, mainly because when they came, the gifts they gave were too scary!

Zhu shopkeeper and Wang shopkeeper directly contracted all the dishes of today's banquet, Zhang Shouxin sent two good quilts, cotton in this era, equivalent to luxury, Niu Fu sent two horses of hibiscus satin, the value of these two pieces of cloth is already worth the new house of the Xiao family.

At that time, Liao and Mo's Xiao Xiaocao's eyes almost fell off.

During the banquet, from the words of the guests, the people of Xiao Jiagou had a deeper understanding of the situation of Liu Yifan's family and the current situation of Xiao Lao's family, looking at the spacious and bright new house, the comfortable smile on the face of Xiao's old man's family, and some of the thoughts in their hearts became stronger.

"Xiaocao, now your nephew, you go and borrow some money from them, let's go back and renovate the house, our house will fall in a heavy rain."

"Then you say, how much is the right amount to borrow?"

"Today, I see that the gifts sent by those guests are very valuable, just like that, they are all worth a house, we have to buy clothes in winter, and then buy two acres of land, I think it is enough to borrow more than 20 taels."

"More than twenty taels, I guess my mother can't take it out."

"Your nephew can take it out!" The bolt said, "There are restaurants, factories, and greenhouses, you haven't heard the villagers say, they all sell for more than ten or twenty yuan a catty, and they are all rushing to ask for it!" Let's borrow more than 20 taels, which is considered a little. ”

Xiao Xiaocao thinks about it, if he can borrow money and buy two acres of land, he won't have to go hungry in the future, and the most important thing is that his status in his in-law's family can be improved in the future.

So, in the evening, Xiao Xiaocao and his wife came to the door.

"Yifan, Yingzi."

"Auntie, uncle, you two sit!" Luo Ying beckoned them to sit down, poured them sugar water, and served snacks.

"What a beautiful house of yours!" Xiao Xiaocao praised from the bottom of his heart, "I spent a lot of money!" ”

This is the first time that Bolt and Xiao Xiaocao have entered Liu Yifan's house, and they originally thought that the Xiao family's new house was good enough, but now looking at everything in Luo Ying's house, they feel that they have borrowed twenty taels too little! You should borrow thirty taels, fifty taels!

"Fortunately, there are more people in the family, so the room is a little more."

"You guys are really capable, I've always heard the big guy praise you in the past two days, and my face as an uncle-in-law is also very bright!"

"Yes! became an official at a young age, earned such a big business, how can it be like me, I have lived for half my life, I still live in a thatched house, it leaks on rainy days, and I have to take a basin to catch water. After Xiao Xiaocao finished speaking, he secretly looked at Luo Ying and Liu Yifan's expressions.

Luo Ying smiled and said, "We all came here like this before. ”

"But you're okay now!" The plug said, "That'...... Yifan, can you ......"

didn't wait for the bolt to finish speaking, Xiao Youcai's family also came.

Mohs smiled: "Xiaocao, bolt, you are also here!"

Seeing them coming, the bolt smiled wryly, and was annoyed in his heart, because because they came, it would inevitably affect them to borrow money.

"Aunt Hong, serve tea."

It is said to be tea, but in fact it is still sugar water, and the villagers still like to drink sugar water.

"Yifan, you're looking for everyone, but what's the matter?" Old man Xiao asked.

Liu Yifan said: "Grandpa has always remembered everyone's days in Xiaojiagou, just like my aunt said, the house leaks on rainy days, and it is terrible to live, I also hope that everyone can live well, eat and dress well, my wife and I saw a lot of black flowers (fungus) in the mountains in Xiaojiagou before, we want to try to take this out and sell it, there are a few villages near Xiaojiagou, uncle, auntie, you will help me collect dried black flowers, and I will give twenty-eight wen for a catty." ”

"What? Twenty-eight wen a pound? When the people in the room heard this, they were all dumbfounded!

Old man Xiao hurriedly said: "Yifan, grandpa knows that you want to help our own family, but is the price of Twenty-Eight Wen too high?" ”

Liu Yifan said: "This price is not high, because I give the price of dried black flowers, and you have to send it to me all the way, this price is not high." ”

A pound of dried fungus, soaked in water, can be eaten for N days.

"My suggestion is, uncle and aunt, you buy it from other villagers at a price of 20 wen per catty, and then send it to me in a centralized manner, so that you can make a difference from the middle, after all, you have to send it all the way, and you must not run in vain."

Xiao Dahe smiled and said, "That's a good idea, so how much do you want?" ”

Liu Yifan said: "You directly manage the collection, we will solve the sales, if you really can't sell it in the future, we will notify you." ”

Doing business is inherently risky, but now that Liu Yifan has the support of the emperor behind him, and the fungus itself tastes good, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it.

"That's it, when we go back, we'll do it!" Xiao Dahe originally wanted to get a job here, but now it seems that this is also good.

One pound can earn the difference of eight pounds, if your family picks a few pounds and more than ten pounds a day, then you will earn more than that.

The more Xiao Dahe thought about it, the more excited he became.
